Trivia:

Cameo: [Brian Greene]the film's physics consultant appears early in the movie as himself, being interviewed by Dick Cavett. There are two scenes; one with old footage of Dick Cavett interviewing Brian Greene in 1969, then a scene with an interview in 1999 with contemporary footage of Dick Cavett and an "aged" Brian Greene.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the final scene of the ball game, the first view of the Mercedes' front license plate is a series of letters and numbers - like a traditional NY license plate. In the following close-up view, it is clearly '1 YAHOO'.

Quotes:

Julia Sullivan: What's going on here, Satch?
Satch: Frank says that he talks to Johnny, little Johnny on the radio in the future, and this guy claims to be your son!
Julia Sullivan: Well, I talked to him too, once. He's a cop.
